Solution Overview
Problem
Current cleaner robots with cotton rags and water tanks face issues of rag contamination, uncontrolled water dripping, and frequent manual cleaning, reducing their practicality and effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning apparatus for cleaner robots featuring a detachable water spraying device, a sweeping roller with a water squeezing rod, and a sewage recovery system that allows for automatic cleaning and sewage collection, enabling continuous operation without manual intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a cotton rag with water tank is used for floor cleaning, then the cleaning function is achieved, but the rag gets dirty quickly and requires frequent manual cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic cleaning system where the cleaning robot cleans its own rag. A water spraying device sprays water onto the rag, a sweeping roller rotates to scrub the rag surface, and a water squeezing rod removes dirty water, enabling the system to maintain itself without human intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a sewage recovery system that collects dirty water from the rag through the water squeezing rod, stores it in a sewage tank, and enables reusable cleaning. This recovers the cleaning function by separating dirty water from the cleaning system
2Reliability
If water is continuously dripped onto the rag for cleaning, then the cleaning function is maintained, but water is wasted and floors may be damaged by uncontrolled dripping
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a controlled water delivery system where water is sprayed onto the rag only when needed for cleaning, rather than continuous dripping. The system monitors and regulates water flow to the sweeping roller and rag, preventing waste and uncontrolled dripping onto floors
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a water spraying device with controlled hydraulic delivery to spray water onto the rag, replacing uncontrolled gravitational dripping. This provides precise water delivery only where and when needed for cleaning effectiveness
3Reliability
If the rag is removed and washed frequently by the user, then cleaning effectiveness is maintained, but the practicality and smartness of the cleaner robot is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automatic cleaning system where the cleaning robot cleans its own rag through integrated water spraying, rotating sweeping roller scrubbing, and water squeezing functions. This eliminates the need for user removal and washing of the rag, maintaining cleaning effectiveness while preserving the smart, autonomous nature of the robot
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The apparatus ensures efficient cleaning, automatic rag cleaning, and sewage recovery, extending the service life of the cleaning apparatus and reducing user time spent on maintenance.
Implementation Method 1
The water spraying device includes a water spraying pipe, and the water spraying pipe faces towards the sweeping roller
Implementation Method 2
A water squeezing rod is arranged between the sweeping roller and the accommodation cavity. The water squeezing rod is detachably connected with the accommodation cavity, and the water squeezing rod abuts against the sweeping roller
